Alaric was again present under the wings of Mr. Gitemthruet; and the great Mr. Chaffanbrass was in his place.
'You will gain nothing by going home, said he; 'Gertrude does not expect you; Mrs. Woodward is there; and it will be better for all parties that you should remain. Mr. Gitemthruet strongly backed his advice, and Alaric, so counselled, resolved to remain where he was.
Gitemthruet had found himself enabled to secure the venom of Mr. Chaffanbrass. Chaffanbrass and his lordship retired to prepare themselves by rest for the morrow's labours. But what was Alaric to do? He soon found himself under the guardianship of the constant Gitemthruet in a neighbouring tavern, and his cousin Charley was with him.
'I never saw him so great; I never did, said Mr. Gitemthruet, whispering to his client; and Alaric, even he, felt some consolation in the terrible discomfiture of his enemy.
